That's cause you're getting old mate not cause of the size of the sounder lol.

I couldnt think of anything witty or funny to say and didnt really want to post my PB fish from the yak cause all I manage to get are toadies so I thought I'd take the time to fill in the blank space and say pretty much absolutely nothing and annoy every-one who has taken the time to read this.

If I used the gps side of it I'd prefer a 5, just using it as a sounder I find the 4 is big enough for me

I use my 4 as a gps and sounder and have it in the same spot but on the left. I will probably get a longer arm and move it further forward as I find it hinders me slightly when I wanna fish semi side saddle with a leg dangling over the side. Kinda nice to do on a still hot summer evening.
Live long, fish hard and hopefully catch something.

Damn you guys in the new Outbacks!! A few months back I got a warranty upgrade to a 2014 model but with renovations and an Italian holiday, fishing took a back seat. I had similar issues with my old 2012 Outback so decided to sell the 2014 kayak and upgrade. Put an ad on Gumtree yesterday afternoon and got 2 calls within the hour and was sold and collected by 8.30pm. New unit now ordered so looking forward to taking delivery shortly

Loving my new outback as well.
The seat is fantastic, exceeds expectations.
Just got back from a Toolondo trip, 6hrs day one, 4 and 3hrs day 2 and 4.5 hrs day 3 with not a hint of back pain that I'd had with the old seat.
The mirage drive and Elite4 chirp sounder go a treat as well, very happy!
